Public School 130, ca. 1930. Constructed circa 1903, Public School 130, also called the Parkside School, was constructed during the planning and building of a spate of outer borough schools. At the start of the 20th century tens of thousands of New York school children were only receiving part-time education due to the lack of appropriate educational spaces. P.S 130 was constructed to provide full time schooling to the local neighborhood.

Structures located at the Eastern Entrance to Green-Wood, ca. 1880. After Green-Wood made several expansions to its land area to the southeast, the Eastern Entrance at Fort Hamilton Avenue (now Fort Hamilton Parkway) was opened in 1876. The two structures located there, a residence and a visitors lounge, were designed by Richard M. Upjohn and completed in 1878.

FDNY Engine 240 ARCHITECT: Peter J. Lauritzen DATE: 1895 STYLE: Romanesque Revival The Firehouse for Engine Company 40/Hook & Ladder Company 21 was built in 1895 as part of a campaign by Brooklyn Fire Commissioner Frederick W. Wurster to replace the old firehouses housing the volunteer fire companies in Brooklyn’s recently annexed districts with new up-to-date buildings suitable for modern equipment and full-time paid professional staff. This building was designed by the noted architect Peter J. Lauritzen. It is one of eight firehouses he designed for the Brooklyn Fire Department between 1894 and 1897 and is his finest in the Romanesque Revival Style, a style favored for Brooklyn firehouses of the period. The building’s imposing limestone and brick façade features an asymmetrical design, with a rusticated limestone ground story, round corner turret richly decorated with Romanesque motifs, a broad tripartite round arched window set off by a drip molding with label stops, a flat-arched double-window flanked by colonnettes, an elaborate arched cornice, and an asymmetric parapet.
